Make an apartment in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin your home away from home

Roquebrune-Cap-Martin holiday apartments are found among the towns and villages on this scenic headland between Monaco and Italy. Having switched between cultures and governments numerous times, the settlements of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin have long, chequered, and therefore fascinating histories, changing allegiances (albeit under protest) as recently as WWII. With the Alps at their back and the coast to their front, guests at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin an accommodation can enjoy the benefits of both mountain and coastal activities.

Additionally, villas on Roquebrune-Cap-Martin are but a couple of miles from the bustling exclusivity of Monaco, with its fantastic shopping, opulent casinos, and exquisite restaurants. Beachfront holiday rentals in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin typically come with kitchens and laundry facilities for self-caterers, and – of course – close proximity to the shore. Gardens, pools and parking are available.

Things to do

Outdoor pursuits: The nearby Alps provide the obviously excellent opportunities for skiing in the winter and hiking or climbing when the snow is gone. The coast, of course, makes for wonderful sailing, and the Cote d'Azur is famous for its beach activities and scuba diving. In the immediate area, there's a pretty looped walking trail, which leads tourists past the region's oldest olive tree – 1,000 years old.

Beaches: The coastline towards Menton, where HomeAway offers a further range of holiday homes, comprises mostly shingle beach, and is extremely popular during the summer. On this particular stretch of coast, if the beach isn't shingle, it's typically concrete or rocks, which is perfectly enjoyable if visitors have sunbeds and flip-flops (and nowhere near as ugly as it might sound!).

Nightlife: The nightlife of Monte Carlo, a couple of miles down the coast, is renowned the world over, especially for its casinos. Fortunately, gambling isn't all it offers, with many restaurants, bars and lounges, which are typically extremely expensive. Menton, equidistant to the northeast, offers more reasonably priced entertainment for those staying in this area on a budget.

Shopping: While the nightlife in Monaco is expensive, the shopping is even more upmarket. The choice, however, is incredible, and some of the most exclusive and happening brands in the world are represented here. Quite the place for a window shop – if guests aren't planning on buying. In the town itself, there are antique and open-air markets, and there's one in nearby Nice every Friday.

Culture: Nearby Monaco has an eclectic selection of museums to explore, from the Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology to the Museum Monaco Oceanographic. In the other direction from Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Menton has its own visitable collection too, featuring its own Museum of Natural History and the dominating Basilica of Saint-Michel-Archange.

Weather in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin

With the Alps encroaching on the coast here, the climate is somewhat different to the rest of the Cote d'Azur, as the mountains protect this stretch of coast from the colder north winds. Thus it tends to be warmer here during the off-season, and has pretty much year-round sunshine. Temperatures typically top out at 29°C during the summer, and mid-teens during the winter. Most of the rain falls in the autumn.

Recent Reviews

Great apartment with a lovely view from the balcony, both the apartment and the complex were very secure with underground parking. The apartment had everything we wanted for both relaxation and preparing meals. We have been coming to the Roquebrune/Menton area for about 17 yrs staying in various apartments but this one is a must for the future. Very good prompt communications with Trevor and his wife via both phone and email. Many thanks Keith and Patricia.

The house was spacious and comfortable which is frequently not true in the Menton area. We had a car so we could easily access the neighbourhood, but the local supermarket and other shops were only a short walk away. If you didn't have a car, you could catch a bus to Menton from the end of the road or the train, also quite close. Having a dedicated parking spot was a real asset. The house is accurately described on the website. It is well equipped. By night it was very peaceful. Unfortunately, when we were there, there was very noisy building excavation going on just 50-100m away, so that prevented us using the garden. Hopefully that noise will reduce in the next few weeks. We were lucky in having great weather. In fact, October seems like a good time to visit- the crowds have largely gone, though some restaurants and shops were closed/closing. There are some really nice walks in the hills/mountains behind Menton and along the coast. Many are accessible by bus, but we mostly used a car and chose circular walks.
Audrey is closeby if any problems arise. I would have given 5*, if I hadn't been surprised by the building works.
